I scored at the local Pull a Part

That is an intake,exhaust manifold,turbo and the oil and water lines from an 07 Saab 9-3 2.0 and a throttle body from a 08 HHR 2.4. All that for $200.. The turbo conversion for my LSJ has started.

Nice! The exhaust manifold looks intact - score!

Yeah no cracks that I can see.

Saab turbo, exhaust manifold, intake manifold, and 2.4 LE5 throttle body on the LSJ.

Whats the big yeehaw with these intake manifolds?

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

The Saab is an aluminum rather than plastic manifold - holds boost pressure better.

 

[comegetjoe]

Oh, did not know that. Good to know.
Are they a direct replacement for an LNF?
Whats with the exhaust manifold too?

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

The Saab manifold is being used to replace the LSJ manifold to eliminate the laminova tubes, so a A2A or A2W intercooler can be used. This manifold will not work on a LNF, due the direct injection system and the different intake inlet profile.

The exhaust manifold from the Saab turbo is similar to the LNF manifold and is a good bolt-on for the LSJ when doing the turbo upgrade. There is no benefit to this manifold on the LNF.

Exhaust side is a hold me(learn to tune this ECM) over till bigger and better stuff can be bought.
